New Brunswick Race Wagering

New Brunswick offers pari-mutuel wagering on harness racing, including live racing and simulcast. It is overseen by Canadian Pari-Mutuel Agency and the Maritime Provinces Harness Racing Commission (MPHRC); the province itself is not directly involved in regulation.

There is currently one active harness racing facility in New Brunswick: Connell Park Raceway (Woodstock Raceway) in Woodstock, operated by the Woodstock Driving Club. Exhibition Park Raceway in Saint John closed on December 31, 2022, after its lease with the Exhibition Association was not renewed, with Horse Racing New Brunswick subsequently moving operations to Woodstock. Fredericton Raceway has not hosted official races since 2016; in January 2024, Fredericton city council approved zoning bylaw changes that no longer permit harness racing at the New Brunswick Exhibition grounds, and the grandstand was demolished in December 2025.

In September 2008, the New Brunswick government approved VLTs to be placed at racetracks.
